In a typical round, Plomley read out a piece of text prepared by Messiter, and contestants buzzed in if they detected an error. Correctly identifying an error scored one point and supplying a correction was worth a second; if a contestant buzzed in when there was no error, two points were awarded to the opposing team. Occasionally a third point was awarded when a contestant spotted a mistake Messiter had not intended. Mid-way"
"Records for safeties in football In gridiron football, a safety is scored when the ball becomes dead behind the goal line of the team in possession of the ball (unless the ball arrived in the end zone due to impetus from the other team). Due to their uncommon nature, there are a number of records relating to safeties. According to ""Pro Football Reference"", only eight NFL games since 1940, and none since 1995 or in the AFL, have seen both teams score at least one safety. In none of these eight games did either team score more than this single"

After a PAT attempt or successful field goal the scoring team must kick the ball off to the other team. A safety is scored when the ball carrier is tackled in their own end zone. Safeties are worth two points, which are awarded to the defense. In addition, the team that conceded the safety must kick the ball to the scoring team via a free kick. Football games are played on a rectangular field that measures long and wide. Lines marked along the"

It can be scored by the offense in college and professional football (following an NFL rule change in 2015) if the defense obtains possession of a"

Solutions are to score 1/2 point or 1 full point for the safety and receive the ball off of a free kick; or have the safety result in a ""turnover"" to the opposite team, with the ball placed near the goal line.

Seven (7) points are scored for a touchdown, three (3) for a successful field goal, and two (2) for a safety.

"The game does not rely solely on goals and is therefore measured in points. One goal equals one point. In synchronized football however, you get punished for shooting outside the posts of your opponent's goal. Doing so gives you 0.1 point, where 0.3 points is converted into a full point. If your opponent saves your goal attempt 0.1 point is not given. This means that if a player shoots three times outside of an opponents goal it equals 1 point. For example, if during a game your opponents have scored 3 goals on you and you have missed an opponent's"

In the NFL, if the receiving team elects to attempt this and time expired during the punt, the half/overtime is extended with an untimed down.

This was not a palpably unfair act because it did not recur (and was not done ""to prevent a score"" but in fact while conceding points).
